Professional/Personal Overview
Over the past decade, I have assisted a variety of clients with their communication efforts; my experience has involved the various facets of public relations, marketing, and journalism – allowing me to offer a more integrated approach in forwarding a brand’s/publication's momentum. In addition, I am a former founding/managing editor for a luxury lifestyle magazine in Newport Beach and editor-in-chief for another in San Diego; aside from managing editorial content and direction, I wrote several editorial features on architects, designers (interiors and fashion), dining, non profits, motorcars, entertainment, celebrities and public figures, as well as real estate.
